Tourism Board

I think some of you might have heard I have booked ticket to Hong Kong and Taiwan at Natas. Yeah! Excited and scared at the same time I guess.

Excited because I am moving nearer to my goal in life I guess. Scared is because only two persons are going! Charmaine and me which means that it is pretty unsafe for two girls to go right. But still, I'm still excited! =)

It cost me $1.1k for the air tickets and the hotels. Please tell me it is worth it. Anyway, I'm going on 15 September. I wonder what shall I prepare for it and what places shall I go. Do recommend k? Cheap and good ones. I'm a poor kid now.

Oh ya, if you got any lo-bang to earn money, please introduce me. Thanks. I need instant cash! haha! I need to do some research on the countries and tidy my room! Oh gosh! See ya then! =)

Relaxed for a week

Yap, kind of relaxed for a week. But why time always fly so fast that I didn't even realized one week has passed.

I love my week as I really had at least 8 hours of sleep every single day except the day before that I went to Johore.

Yap. I went Johore yesterday with Pauline, her mum and her aunties. 5 of us. Finally got stamped in my passport after 5 months. Ya, I finally got my passport done. 2.5 more years before it expires. The book still has lots of spaces so I do hope I get to travel a lot soon. Of course not to my hometown only but to other countries as well. =)

It was a pretty cool trip. Her auntie drove damn fast that we reached in like less than 45 minutes. We went to CIMB Bank. I had flipped through 2.5 Prestige Magazines looking through photos and pictures of people, watches and cars. Nothing much through. One that caught my eyes is the hotel that is previously a prison/jail. Ya, you read correctly, it was a jail! It is the Malmaison Hotel in UK, London if I remember the fact correct, making up of 94 hotel rooms. It is pretty well-known in UK in fact if I'm not wrong. I have never been to UK or Europe sad to say. It was turned into a hotel as the jail wasn't suitable. I wonder why. The size or the condition? Never the less, I do hope I can go and visit the hotel or stay in one of the rooms in the near future. =)

There is another jail that was changed into a hotel as well. I can't remember what is that hotel already. It cost $150m changing it. Wow!

After the bank, we went to buy breads. I was told that the breads were damn nice and the breads are freshly baked from the ovens. I was told by one of the aunties that the place is quite dark or the oven is quite black that I might be scared of. Well, when we reached, I wasn't even have a bit of fright. In fact, I like it. The place is a bit of traditional type, the big oven is pretty black from all the toasting of breads. The breads are still warm when they are sold. I bought pretty lots of breads. They are nice! I love the banana cake. I wanted to take photos of the bread shop but I was scared photos were not allowed. I wanted to ask the uncle but he seemed too busy with customers so I didn't bother asking. The uncle is a pretty friendly guy.

I'm a person who does not have not much liking for coffee. But I wonder why Johore coffees are pretty nice. I drank a small cup from the bank and then later while we were enjoying our breads, I had a big cup too. It was really good, very smooth to swallow down the throat and it doesn't have the other taste bitter effect. Good!

I talked as if I wasn't from Malaysia. For your information, I was born in Johore. Surprised? I missed the Saba fish when I was young. But the whole row of food stalls were asked to go off if I'm not wrong as the government thought it was unhygienic to sell food nearby the river according to my dad. Whatever the case, it was a pretty good memory. =)

I missed the durians too from my hometown. Every year when I went home when I was young, there were lots of durians awaiting for me. They were from our durian plantations. But sadly to say, the plantations were sold due to some reasons. No more durians. But whatever it is, I had a good memory to keep as well. =)

I wanna eat durians!

The mee goreng (did I spell it correctly?) for our lunch was nice too. Although the green chillies were damn hot/spicy? It was not hot or spicy just choke my nose.

I had so much of memories for a day and so much of new experiences. Love it!

Oh ya! We went back to the bank again if I was not wrong, Pauline needed to sign some documents. But the blur queen (not me in this case) got the card gotten eaten up by the ATM machine. So we need to wait for a while.

Talking about blur, I forgot to bring out my phone the other day and troubled everyone. I was really sorry. Because of that, I missed my movie Step Up 3. Never mind, I'm watching it with Louisa next week. =)

Okay, enough for today. I'm currently looking for new experience and adventures. Ya, if you have heard, my parents want me to take care of them since I'm can consider officially graduate if I can pass all my modules for my last semesters. Okay, I need to find what is my passion and love. I learnt the other day from Steve Jobs in one of the youtube videos, you need to have passion and love for what you are doing or else you won't be happy with what you are doing and you will quit halfway. So what is my love and passion for? I wonder...

I guess I have been 吊儿郎当(did I write it correctly?) for the past 21 years of my life I guess. No more like that! What should I do? What is my love and passion for?

Okay I shall go continue to think what is it. See ya soon! =)

Emo

原来我的内心有一个人。

Home

Thanks to my exams, I'm able to stay at home. Haha! We have a home or rather a house but don't stay for long. The house is only for sleeping time. That costs lot of money like thousands plus plus plus for a HDB flat min. If you are talking about Condo, close to a million maybe. If you are talking about terrace, bungalow etc... u are looking at millions if I'm not wrong.

I was just wondering, why people spent so much money on houses and not staying inside for long to enjoy it.

Thanks for my exam I got to enjoy at home I guess. Well, I prepared mushroom soup yesterday. Well, that is a miracle I guess to actually get myself to open the stove. Sorry, I'm a terribly lazy person if you got to know me. Haha! I even lazy to go down to buy something to eat if I'm at home. I love my home so much especially the bed. That's why to prevent myself from going to my bed, I'm at my brother's room.

So what's was my point? Oh ya, so now I'm single and below 35, I'm not eligible for HDB flat. Damn it. So to get a house for myself, I'm a person who is anti-social and like to be alone, to think alone. Sorry, I'm a person who thinks a lot and a lot on nonsensical stuffs. That's why I need space. Haha! Actually for investment purposes as well. Okay, so I could only look at condo and above. Nice one, don't even have the cash now to even afford HDB maybe a one room flat, now even talking about condos? Whatever.

But I will! Yes, I can! =) I need to be thrifty. I was surfing the net last night looking at some of the richest man and found that they are rich for a reason. They lead a frugal life even though they are rich and they donate a lot to charity. Like our Singapore's richest man, Ng Teng Fong who died recently in 2 Feb 2010, he led a frugal and unostentatious lifestyle. Although he controlled at least a quarter of Singapore's housing market, he lived in the same house in Watten Estate, off Bukit Timah Road, for over 30 years and was known to even bring his own lunch on airplanes. Another example is Bill Gates and Warren Buffett actually donated his fortune or wealth to the needy, they already signed on the giving pledge. I think if I'm not wrong, they are the ones who came out with this idea. So you see, they are rich for a reason. They want to help the people in need. Wow!

It has been more than a week that I didn't go catch a movie already. Oh well, that is another miracle I created. You can see how spendthrift I was, to watch at least movie every week. I did watched consecutively for 3 days if I remember correctly. But anyway, if the cinemas want to hire me to watch movies and review on the movies I don't mind! =) I got free movies to watch. Haha! Is there such job available I wonder? But anyway, I do wish that my house got a threater at home. Wahaha! Not bad huh? If I remember correctly, F4 Korean has right? a threater at home? Damn cool! Somemore the seats are shiok that kind like the ones in Gold Class.

But anyway, where was I again? I dreamt about my husband is a singer. Is it a dream or is it my sub-conscious mind. (I think is JJ. Haha!)

okay never mind. I shall go to study. Tax paper is suck. See ya soon again! Bye! =)

Ordinary People

My phone card memory was corrupted the other day and I was sad that I lost my 2 favourite songs 'Someone To Watch Over Me' & 'Try' sang by Asher Book. I got to know these songs via the movie Fame. Then I was searching over the net and got to listen to the rest of the soundtrack from this movie. All the songs are good and two of the songs I quite like out the many. Below are the lyrics. =)

Ordinary People by Asher Book

[Verse 1]

Girl I'm in love with you

This ain't the honeymoon

Past the infatuation phase

Right in the thick of love

At times we get sick of love

It seems like we argue everyday

I know I misbehaved

And you made your mistakes

And we both still got room left to grow

And though love sometimes hurts

I still put you first

And we'll make this thing work

But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

'cause we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 2]

This ain't a movie no

No fairy tale conclusion ya'll

It gets more confusing everyday

Sometimes it's heaven sent

Then we head back to hell again

We kiss and we make up on the way

I hang up you call

We rise and we fall

And we feel like just walking away

As our love advances

We take second chances

Though it's not a fantasy

I Still want you to stay

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

'cause we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 3]

Take it slow

Maybe we'll live and learn

Maybe we'll crash and burn

Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,

Maybe you'll return

Maybe another fight,

Maybe we won't survive

But maybe we'll grow

We never know baby you and I

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

'cause we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

'cause we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)

This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow

Take it slow

This time we'll take it slow...

Hold Your Dream by Naturi Naughton, Asher Book, Kay Panabaker

Countless hours of learning more

Countless hours of knowing less

Clouds are behind you, you have to look ahead

So many doubts running through your mind

All the excuses, don't have the time

All the rejection, you have to leave behind

Leave it all behind

Hold your dreams, don't ever let it go

Be yourself and let the world take notice

You'll find strength when people bring you down

They will see if you will only, only believe

Someway somehow

Don't give up now

Don't be afraid to succeed

Someway somehow

The time is right now

Don't be afraid to succeed

Hold your dreams don't ever let it go

Be yourself let the world take notice

You'll find strength when people bring you down

They will see if you will only, only believe

I like the lyrics of Hold your dream. Nice! =)

Badminton

6 August 2010 Friday

Had badminton with Madeline & Raja who came much later. Had a great workout after so long. I was aching all over now even though I was kind of slacking throughout the whole time. Haha!

I came online and saw on facebook that my primary school friend, a girl who once sat besides me, is married. First is surprised, marry at such young age. She is same age as me by the way. Secondly, I'm happy for her. Haha!

I also spy on Mr Patrick Poh, my J1 Mathematics teacher. He and his girlfriend are so sweet together.

Married at age 21, while I didn't have yet a proper boyfriend. Why do I have a sudden urge to have a boyfriend? Haha! Just seeing people sweet makes me have the urge I guess. Oh well, my close friends seem to have boyfriends one by one. I'm definitely happy for them but then again feel a bit lonely for myself I guess.

Well, all leave to fate I guess. I secretly hope that JJ is my boyfriend. Wahaha! I think I'm thinking too much.

Okay, not much process today. I got to finish tax by tonight before I go to bed. 3 more chapters to go! Go go go!

My right index finger is injured! My oh my!

Okay! See you!

Loves,

Sam =)

Last Day of School

Thursday, 5 August 2010

Last day of school. Initially did not have much of a feeling. But I was just standing on level 3 at block A looking down at the green patch of grass below. I didn't really see properly how the school is for the last 2 years in this school. Feel kind of sad I guess.

Had a mini gathering with schoolmates and the lecturer Stephen Lee. Feel more emotional. He is one of my favourite lecturer. I realised I didn't take picture with Dr. Das too. He is also my favourite accounting lecturer. I will miss them! But probably not the school I guess. The school needs some upgrading please.

Had a great movie of Despicable Me with Charmaine. =) It is a funny and lame movie. If you are in for some comedy or some lame stuffs, this might be the movie for you. Catch it soon, it is going to be down. I seriously think the cinemas shall pay me some advertising fees for helping them to promote the movies for them. Haha!

Had a great talk with Charmaine. Might be considering to go HK together! =)

For now, please be focus on studies! Go go go! =)

Love,

Sam =)

Changing a new blog

I feel like changing a new blog...

It has been 4 years since I used this blog already.

Wow! Time sure passed fast.

I will miss school.

People change. Environment changes.

I think I change too. Is it?

Wanted to do so much things. But were not done.

Is it excuse? Or is it that I'm just not good enough? Or I just can't be bothered?

Determination and perseverance are what I lack of as always.

三分钟热度 is another of my weakness I guess. Be it in swimming. In abacus. In drawing. Why I didn't continue to learn them. I wonder from time to time. I always thought I have no regrets. But I guess these are my regrets.

Now, even when I was in my teens. Guitar. I pick up and learn. But it was left untouched. I picked up again in my beginning stage of my young adult life. It was left alone again.

I seriously need some reflections of my own. To think of how shall I improve for the better. so that to fulfill the many dreams that I have. I know you can! Yes I can! =)

I shall now be focus! FOCUS! on study!

Love you! =)

Sam

Durians

My dad bought durians when he heard I got craving for durians. So sweet! =)

Yummy yummy.

The only man who loves me, I guess is my dad liaoz.

I heard a erm is it called rumor? or is it a saying that dad's daughter is his previous lives wife or mistress. Maybe is true. Haha!

I love you dad. So mushy!

I got back pain these couple of days... dunno why... damn... okay...

See ya!

Bye!

Sam =)

Nick周湯豪 - 翻頁作廢

what sup 我知道你看我不順眼

我說 Let it go，let it go 不要浪費時間
我不會說謊 沒打算假裝
說我 直接 無所謂
太多戲劇化 會讓我害怕
Sorry，I just wanna to be myself today

Yesterday 失敗後悔 Tomorrow 完美蛻變
Yesterday 翻頁作廢 Tomorrow is brand new day
what sup 我知道你看我不順眼
so what 我不想再看到你的臉
shut up 拜託給我一點空間
我說 Let it go，let it go 不要浪費時間
我不懂表達 誤解我尬尷
猶豫 不決 Try Again
滾開吧複雜 少說些廢話
Go away，I just don`t wanna see your face
Yesterday 失敗後悔 Tomorrow 完美蛻變
Yesterday 翻頁作廢 Tomorrow is brand new day x3

Enjoy!

New singer

I just got to hear about a new singer name Nick Chou 周汤豪 a couple of days ago if I'm not wrong in 娱乐百分百。I didn't really paying attention to him. But today the whole show is about him. So got to know more about this guy. Well, his dance is not bad. Singing also not bad. Looks also not too bad. He looks a bit like Wilber Pan when he wears sunglasses. But I still feel there is something lacking in him. Maybe experience or some X- factors he needs.

I quite like the song he sang just now I dunno the title though, something like yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a brand new day. He played guitar while he was singing this to a fan of this. That part is nice.

Some of the songs that sang by him...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4lJnizbBeY&feature=related

哭了

我一个人默默地哭了。是情绪的解放吗？还是长期以来的压力？

我累了。我真的累了。

原来，我没想像的那么坚强。

原来，我每天说没事是装出来的。

原来，我的微笑也是伪装的。

假装不在乎，其实很在乎的吧？

我知道不可以，也不能，只因为你有了别人。

我不在乎，是自我催眠吧？

我一直都知道有很多人关心。

所以，得活得开心。

但，又为何那么的辛苦, 那么的累？

我一直不喜欢假装的人，但如今自己已成了一个。

看到你，有一种厌烦的感觉。为什么？

Why do I feel "fan" whenever I see your sms?

Why do I need to report everything to everyone?

I feel restricted.

I'm sorry for being emotional.

I'm sorry for always throwing my temper.

I just need a break, I just need to withdraw from everything!

Hi!

Where the hell is everyone? No one updated their blogs...

I have no motivation to update too.

Haiz.

That's all.

Really alot of things happened ytd... so tired.... I'm hurt... I cried.... whatever... life moves on...

Travelling day

13 July 2010

I went to help my dad to collect the winning for the World Cup. But to my sadness, there was no winnings cos it was only counted for 90min and Spain only kicked in after the 90min. Haiz, sad, I thought I can "coop" some.

But anyway, I was late to meet Jael and friends at Liang Court for her welcome home. I took bus 143 there. But I missed the stop and took all the way to Jurong Point bus interchange. It was a 1.5h journey. Damn it. What's more? During the journey, there is a smoker, apparently just finished his stick and sat besides me. Omg, damn smelly. Whatever. After he left, there is an old lady sat besides me kept coughing and she got saliva or bad breathe whenever she coughed. Sorry for being so picky. But I really can't stand it. Haiz. But I endured the long hours journey thanks to the songs in my phone. I wasted my $1.83! Sorry Jael, didn't go meet you guys at Liang Court. Really really sorry.

When I reached the JP bus interchange, it was already 4pm. I was supposed to be at Tampines at 4pm. Nice one. So I took MRT to tampines. Another 1h trip! Nice one! Then after that another 45min trip to Aloha Chalet. Apparently we alighted at the wrong bus stop so we walked back to Fairy Point Chalet 7. Apparently I was told that it was the biggest chalet. Yap, it was big! It can actually hold 200 plus of us. Haha! Heard some great news.

Took Taxi home. Really really tired.... I need to finish my q1 for tax assignment! Damn, have been dragging for pretty long already!

Oh ya, I recently play a game called Millionaire City on FB, I love it alot. Haha! That is my dream career actually, to own houses etc. Haha! So cool right! If you are interested, do look up this game and play. Haha!

Okay, see ya! =)
